CD Reviews

Seattle heavy grunge at its absolute best

02/14/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"For people who like the driving guitar/bass lines and angst-ridden vocals of such bands as Soundgarden, Corrosion of Conformity, or (early) Alice in Chains, this album is a must. It's near impossible to keep yourself from head-banging to songs like "Tribe" and "Crazy Love". For a taste of the real Seattle music scene, get a hold of this CD."

Tommy "ACCUSED" Neimeyer's wicked grungy guitar playing

"GRUNTRUCK are SEATTLE SOUND. Period. Make no mistake about it. They are not the Grunge Wannabe band, they are the Band who Defined Grunge. Unfortunately their selection of a Metal Record Deal ROADRUNNER was a carer mistake, which made them loose way in the alternative explosion.TOMMY NEIMEYER and Norman SCOTT make this groove laden Grunge album still worth its worth even today.Jack Endino produced this Grunge GEM. All the songs are good...and this band is legendary in the Northwest..though they now go by the name MONA DIESEL.SUPPORT THEM and LET GRUNGE RETURN, FOLKS !!!!!"

"Gruntruck is one of the most underated bands of the early '90's. If you haven't heard them, buy this now. Their live show was amazing, and this disc will not disappoint."

"This band and this cd killed when it came out during the grunge era...got overlooked bu it really is brilliant. Benjamin, the singer, just passed away after his 8 year battle with Diabetes...give it a listen in tribute...truly brilliant."

Unsung

"Gruntruck is just that - one of the true unsung bands to emerge from the grunge era. Or actually to not emerge from the grunge era. The other reviews are pretty much dead-on. If you like that particular type of music, and I do, Gruntruck is worth listening to. All of the songs are well written and it's too bad they are not still touring. They put on one fantastic show with loads of energy. I saw them open for Alice in Chains and they were definitely full of potential."
